Blitzking vs VMAX

[Bee3440]

I have a 6mm Creedmoor with a 26” 1-7.5 that I am looking to load some coyote hunting ammo for. I was just looking for options on the 70 gr class of bullets, just wanting to know if either the 70 gr blitz or the 75 vmax would have issues with being over spun?

 

[JB10]

Id choose the 75 vmax just based on availability. 87 vmax might be a little better option or just slow down the 75's. Dont push them too fast

 

[Hotshot]

I like the 75 vmax in my 8twist. Fast, flat and very accurate. Not exactly fur friendly.

 

[nakneker]

Like them both, Blitzkings seem to have been more accurate but by a small margin. Both are killers, very accurate.

I shoot a 70gr tnt in my 10t . I will be watching to see your results in a 7.5 . it could happen. . Not likely but it could.

 

[Alguapo]

I shoot a 8.5 twist .243 and a 75 grn. Vmax with spectacular results.

I shot the 70 Blitz Kings and the 75 Vmax out of my 6mmAI years ago at ground hogs and foxes. I think the edge went to the ones that come in the green boxes, but both were accurate and explosive.

For me the blitz kings were more accurate but I would get the occasional flyer, the vmaxs were more consistent, I would rather have a consistent 1/2 minute bullet than a quarter minute bullet with flyers…….jmtcw

My 6 Creedmoor has a 9tw Proof and it shoots the 70gr Nosler BT's extremely well and the Nosler BT's have always been a great coyote bullet in any weight or caliber I've shot them in. I've shot many coyotes with the 75gr Vmax from my 6-284 but it's a 12tw. The 75gr Vmax are brutal on coyotes from my 6-284 and always leave very large holes, definitely, not a hide friendly bullet.

I shot the 75 Vmax out of my 6GT with 6groove 7.5 twist yesterday and reached 3300 fps and had no problems. It was faster than I was expecting, but still shot 1/2 group at 100.

 

[Bee3440]

Thanks everyone for your input, are there any bullets in 6 mm that are fur friendly?

 

[Ackman]

With that twist, the 75 or 87vmaxes.

 

[JB10]

Im loading 58 vmax in my 6x45 but have not had a chance to try it out. A friend is loading the 58's in his 6ARC also to try on coyotes. Went out yesterday but is way too hot here in desert of AZ for them to come running in. Only saw one but he was not having it. Was hot enough we called it quit at 9:45am.

I've used 70gr NBT, 75gr Vmax on coyotes from both a 10tw 6xc and 10tw 243. To answer your question based on my experience with them being "fur friendly", I've had mixed results with both bullets regarding tearing up hides. Probably more than half don't pass through if shot in the right place. But 2 things are constant, you won't have any trouble finding them as they're DRT, and with a non pass through I'd sure hate to skin one. EEEEK. JME. WD

My wife runs a 24" 8 twist 6 creed with 58gr Vmax as her coyote rig. I can't remember the exact velocity off the top of my head but she is running a grain under max load of CFE223 and getting half MOA or better groups at 100 yards. This combo is not fur friendly at all with plenty of red mist. The coyotes don't go anywhere.

VMAX blems from ''Jon's Reloading'' in Ballentine Neb are app 12-15cents apiece. BlitzKings are at least DOUBLE. They both shoot about the same for ME in my guns. VMAX is usually in stock. BlitzKings RARELY

l love dealing with Jon. He has a real phone number. Call him, you get a human being immediately. No, ''Please listen to the following menu. As our options have changed''. Jon ships his bullets USPS. NO SALES TAX either.
l think JON is only a couple doors from HORNADY in Grand lsle, Neb. 0rdering from Jon's reminds me of Sears, Cabelas, MidSouth, Midway 30 yrs ago. The good old days
